Pretty sure that’s got nothing to do with Italy.
It's more common on overseas vehicles.
As it turns out now all the dipstick are in the engineering department!!!First it was the loss of a column shifter then quickly rolled over to no dipstick on the transmission. Now not only is the Hemi no longer under the hood but with the 3.0L Hurricane engine there's no oil dipstick.
Don't say lifetime oil, dat worse than lifetime Tranny. Somebody gonna believe that, argh................................ Bad enuf no tranny stick, BUT how the heck do U justify no OIL dipstick, OR IS THIS AN APRIL FOOLS STUNT???
Hmmm, I do a PMCS type of check on my truck every 2 weeks. The only thing not checked would be tranny level, but I do a visual on all parts and drivetrain to see any possible issues (leaks). No oil dipstick, wholly crapola "Batman".
There's lots on this forum that are meticulous about checking fluid levels like yourself. Sadly there's a lot of drivers that wouldn't know when to change the oil unless there's a warning on the dash or dealership service writer tells them it needs to be done while the vehicle is in for repairs.
You still add oil and change the oil. You just can't read the oil level from under the hood - you have to read it from the EVIC now.
Was just going to post this. Audi, Mercedes, some BMW engines, Volvo, all don't have trans or oil dipsticks.
